My regular optometrist that I have been seeing for years is located at Markville Shopping Centre…read more Due to ongoing issues between Ontario Health and optometrists, eye exams aren't available. Bummer. I tend to see my optometrist in December every two years. What now? I did a search and found Unionville Optometry. It's a bit closer to me. I sent an e-mail asking whether there were any appointments available for this week. Twenty minutes later, I got a response and there was an appointment after work on Thursday. It was perfect. You need to do a pre-screening questionnaire before you show up at the place. The questions range from what your existing medical conditions are, to whether you have ever had COVID-19. You are then given a list of points about what will happen when you arrive at the clinic. A lot of them didn't happen, such as getting my temperature checked. The short, accurate version is the following: - Arrive at the clinic, and either call or text the clinic that you have arrived. I did the former. The woman on the other end indicated to approach the door in five minutes and someone will let me in. - When you are let in, you are asked to wash your hands at the sink by the entrance. Soap and paper towel are available. You do not need to sanitize your hands. I had a nice technician who let me in. She looked at my car and commented on how nice the blue colour was. It was nice to hear. She then led me to a bunch of different machines to test various aspects of my vision and eyes, from pressing a button whenever you see a light flash somewhere, to getting a puff of air to test each eye's pressure. I also had photos of my eyes taken. After all tests were done, she asked me to take a seat in a designated waiting area and Dr. Mark would come see me. This clinic is a family-run business. The family name is Innamorato. My guess is that spelling and perhaps pronunciation can be pain points, so everyone calls the doctors by Dr, followed by their first names. I like simplicity. Dr. Mark was friendly and thorough. We analyzed my sight with my existing glasses versus what looked better to me. He was understanding and I appreciated his explanations that weren't completely medical speak in nature. He also has a sense of humour. He asked who my usual optometrist was. I said her first and last names. He started singing Ricky Martin's "Living La Vida Loca," which cracked us both up. I didn't realize that her first and last names do sound like La Vida Loca... haha! I paid at the front desk. When you do the pre-assessment, you are asked to enter a credit card, but no charges would be made to it. My guess is that if you don't show up, a $75 charge for not cancelling within 48 hours occurs on your card. The eye exam here is more than what I typically pay at my regular optometrist's office. The eye exam is more detailed and comprehensive. I am okay with it, considering my track record for a weird eye issue that I had a few years ago. You then add on how much it is without OHIP and it looks expensive. Luckily, I have health insurance with my employer, so I'm covered for a good chunk of this cost. I paid with my debit card. The transaction was smooth. I got my receipts and prescriptions from the woman. They were clearly printed out. I asked whether I had the code for this service provider on the receipt, so I could file my insurance claim. She wrote it down for me. Remember to ask for it, which will make your claim easy to file. I filed my claim online after I had dinner. It went well. I got reimbursed today. Direct deposit is awesome! I had an excellent experience and felt comfortable. If my regular optometrist is still closed when I need my next eye exam, I'd return to Unionville Optometry without any hesitation. This clinic is located on the south side of Highway 7, next to Midas. There is plenty of parking and the signage is so brightly lit that you truly can't miss it on a dark evening. (462)

The lenses I purchased from Unionville Optometry are of low quality, even though the establishment…read morecharges high quality prices. They scratch easily. I am a senior and have had a lot of experience with prescription lenses over my lifetime. The lenses I have purchased in the past from other similar establishments have lasted for years and I have never had any issues with scratches or otherwise. The lenses I bought from Unionville Optometry lasted 7 months, despite the fact that I took good care of them because they were expensive. I was told by Unionville Optometry that the scratches were my fault Given the care I took with my glasses, I do not accept this. The manufacturer's warranty is limited to 3 months. The optician refused to assist in any way. I do not ordinarily purchase my lenses from Unionville Optometry. I only did so this one time because my optometrist, who works there, suggested that I get my lenses there. I would not recommend purchasing prescription lenses at this establishment.

I cannot say enough how happy and relieved I am to have found Markham Stouffville Optometry. Both Dr. Zhou and Nick were absolutely fantastic. Both very knowledgeable and thorough. Nick helped with direct billing, testing, and glasswear selection. Dr. Zhou calmed my fears about macular degeneration, which runs in my family, by going over the results of each test I had. The clinic also offers 3 levels of testing which I've never seen before. I think that's a great idea. Thank you all so much. You have found a loyal client in me.

I had a very uncomfortable experience with Dr. Stanley Blair Fearon during my appointment on…read moreJanuary 8th at 9 a.m. After giving me extremely strong dilation drops without explaining the side effects, my pupils stayed fully dilated for over 24 hours and I woke up the next morning still blurry with a bad headache. This has never happened at any other eye clinic. What shocked me most was that after dilating my pupils, he handed me printed material about "dry eye symptoms" and told me to read it -- even though I literally could not see because my pupils were fully dilated. It felt dismissive and made no medical sense. He repeatedly blamed my vision issues on "dry eye" and even eyelash loss, instead of addressing the actual cloudiness I clearly described. When I asked about cataract surgery, he discouraged it immediately and warned me I could "lose vision" because I had previous retinal laser, but provided no proper explanation or follow-up plan. When I was visibly upset and confused, he ended the appointment by patting my shoulder -- a gesture that made me even more uncomfortable. Overall, I left feeling dismissed, uninformed, and physically unwell. I will not return and cannot recommend this clinic.
